a paper at the next meeting Of the Ma
tionHl Academy, which takes place the
third week in April, embodying the re-
suits oi the study Of an immense mass OIL
data on the Charleston earthquake. He
does not propose going beyond well proved
facts, as to the nature, or organic influence
Of seismic influence but behaves that tho
material in hand will, when fully worked
up, add much to the mass OF human
knowledge, regarding the face OF the dis.
turbancss, the rate Of motion OF Garth
waves and kindred points Of scientific
interest and that 1t will be especially valu.
able in suggestions for the observation and
atudy Of future phenomena.
The advance made lately in respect to
knowledge OF earthquake phenomena
may be illustrated by single point The
record rate OF motion OF tho earthquakes
OF history varies from 800 to 900 metres per
second. Tho data upon the Charleston
disturbances proves that ils earth waves
travelled between 1000 and 5000 metres d
second, while French journals at hand
containing observations upon the Rivera
